Texture: Silky soft and just a tad on the dry side. Did not clump together at all. Again, great tobacco quality.

Pack/Pipe: Had a difficult time packing almost any pipe due to the size of the cut. Seemed to spring up even after firm packing a cause a loose ashy draw. Smoked this in a number of larger Israeli Alpha bents, an Israeli Alpha Monarch Apple and a Comoy Canadian. Needed firm pack.

Light/Burn: Lit quickly and relatively evenly with two matches, but often went out within minutes. Once underway, (often a third of the way into the bowl) It seemed to behave better. Seldom was able to smoke this blend to the bottom without wet dottle.
